What the hell is a domestic HTTP proxy?
We usually surf the Internet is like sending a courier, HTTP proxy is the one to help us forward the parcel of the transit station. For example, when you want to visit a site, the proxy server will help you "on behalf of the receipt" data, and then forwarded to your hands. This has many benefits - not only to protect the real address from being found by the site, but also to solve the problem of some sites to limit access to foreign countries.
Nowadays, there are several common types of agents in the market, such as residential agents, data center agents and what not. Among themResidential AgentsThe closest to the real user's Internet environment, especially suitable for the need to simulate the real operation of the scene. For example, when we do data collection, using this type of proxy is not easy to be banned by the site.
These are the scenarios you can definitely use
Name a few grounded usage scenarios:
- E-commerce Price Comparison: View the price of goods in different regions at the same time
- Data Capture: Batch collection of public data when doing market research
- Localization testing: checking how the website appears in different regions
- Account Management: Avoiding Linkage Risks When Operating Multiple Accounts
Previously there was a friend who did short video operation, and relied on the agent to solve the problem of managing multiple platform accounts at the same time. In his words, "this thing is like a fake ID for each account."
Hands-on with it.
Here's a Python sample code to extract proxies using ipipgo's API:
import requests
def get_proxy(): api_url =
api_url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/getproxy"
params = {
"key": "Your API key",
"protocol": "http",
"count": 1
}
response = requests.get(api_url, params=params)
return response.json()['data'][0]
Once you get the proxy address, use it in requests like this:
proxy = get_proxy()
proxies = {
"http": f "http://{proxy}",
"https": f "http://{proxy}"
}
response = requests.get("destination URL", proxies=proxies)
How do you pick a reliable agency service?
Here's a simple and crude comparison table:
| Key indicators | Bad agent. | reliable agent |
|---|---|---|
| IP purity | A few uses and you're blocked. | Long-term stable use |
| responsiveness | Frequent lagging | Basic second web opening |
| Technical Support | Robot replies | Real people responding in real time |
Professional service providers like ipipgo, whose homeTK LineEspecially suitable for the need for high concurrency scene. Before helping a friend to test, the same time to open 50 threads to collect data, running for 3 hours without dropping.
Guidelines on demining of common problems
Q: What should I do if I can't connect to the agent?
A: Check the whitelist settings first, then try switching protocols (HTTP/HTTPS alternately). ipipgo's client has an auto-reconnect function, so it is recommended to enable this option.
Q: Traffic running out especially fast?
A: It may be that the page loads too many static resources. It is recommended to set in the code to load only the necessary content, or use theirStatic Home Package, $35/IP/month is a pretty good deal.
Q: What if I need a long-term fixed IP?
A: Directly to the customer service to openExclusive StaticService, remember to say that it is recommended by regular users, sometimes you can ask for a little discount (but do not say that this article said ah).
Tips for using your personal stash
Finally, I'd like to share a couple of real-world experiences:
- crawlerDon't open JS.It saves at least 401 TP3T of traffic.
- Set a reasonable request interval, 1-3 seconds is optimal
- Regularly change User-Agent, with the agent is more effective
- Important items recommended forEnterprise PackageThe price/performance ratio of $9.47/GB is very beatable!
If you can't solve the problem, ipipgo's tech support can help you remotely. Last time, their engineers helped me to adjust a script to switch proxies automatically, and now I'm using it smoothly.
